I put in a word that I know would bring back at least 1,000 results that use that word precisely, and in its entirety.

It didn’t bring back a single one. I got a whole lot of results that had parts of that word, or looked similar to that word, but nothing with an exact match.

That word is not only a well-used German slang for a common vegetable (so, present in hundreds of online recipes), which is also used throughout the Middle East (food reviews and online menus), but it’s also a part of several company’s names (not related to the slang term) mainly because it’s also a German last name (online biographies and Wikipedia entries).

Clearly, this search engine has a long way to go before it comes close to being minimally functional.
